Allentown's new partnership with Tweet My Jobs will allow you to glance at a free smartphone app to find out instantly using GPS mapping technology, and to tap to send along your resume.

The city and the Allentown Neighborhood Improvement Zone Development Authority are footing the $50,000 annual bill to give city residents and employers access to the new job-seeking and recruiting tool, now in place in about a dozen cities including Houston and Newark, N.J.

Tweet My Jobs compiles a database of available jobs in Allentown zip codes using direct relationships with about 500 large employers and Internet job aggregators such as Simply Hired. It supplements the database with listings uploaded for free by small and mid-sized city employers.

Getting local employers on board is particularly important, said Bo Kemp, Tweet My Jobs' vice president of client services.

"Those are the types of jobs you aren't going to find simply by scouring the Internet," he said.

Job seekers create a personal profile, including their resume, on the Tweet My Jobs website and link it to their smartphone by email address, text or Twitter account, so they can instantly receive notifications of new jobs that fit their skills and interests.

The website and app allow job seekers to leverage their social networks via Twitter and Facebook to find and apply for open positions. The app offers job mapping that can alert smartphone users to openings in their neighborhood, or even within blocks of wherever they are standing at the time.
